( KcspcctfuIIy  dedicated  to  tlic  Conductors  of  the  Chicago  or  A/to/i  Railroad.)

Scene. — A  fairy  ghide  on  the  Chicago  c?-"  A/ton  Railway,  at  Holy  Cross,  Illinois. 
The  country  bears  evidence  of  the  utnuist  prosperity.  It  is  early  in  June,  vet  the 
fields  for  miles  in  every  direction  are  waving  with  already  ripened  grain  that  is 
going  to  take  first  prize  at  the  next  National  Exhilution.  The  ensuing  scene 
occurs  in  the  brief  interval  allowed  for  purposes  of  safety  betiveen  the  trains 
on  this  road.      Chorus  of  fairies,  discovered  dancing  over  the  ivheat  stocks. 

(Enter  Rocky  Mountain  Fairies,  led  by  Leila,  Ceila,  and  FletoJ 

CHORUS. 

Tripping  always,  tripping  ever, 
By  each  glen,  each  rock,  each  river, 
We  must  twirl  and  we  must  twine 
Round  about  the  Alton  line. 


r  EILA  — 

If  you  ask  us  how  we  ride. 
See  our  cars  and  step  inside: 
Cars  of  most  convenient  size, 
Cars  enchanting  tourists'  eyes, 
Pullman  Palace  sleeping  cars. 
Free  from  dust,  from  noise,  from  jars 


Cars  with  soft  reclining  chairs. 
Where  we  nestle  free  from  cares ; 
Cars  no  cynic  can  place  fault  on, 
Chicago,  Kansas  City.  Alton. 
Spite  of  distance,  time,  or  weather, 
See  three  cities  .link'd  together. 

/TKILA That  is  extremely  true  and  very  pretty.     Moreover,  it  is  a  very  noble 

employment,  this  acting  in  behalf  of  the  foremost  railway  of  the  world.  Still, 
we  are  not  altogether  hapi)y.  Since  our  queen  banished  lolanthe,  our  life  has  not 
been  a  transcendent  one. 

Y  KII,.\  —  Ah,  lolanthe  was  a  whole  team,  and,  like  the  Alton   Road,  she  was 
the  only  one  in  the  crowd  who  carried  a  proper  train.     But  according  to  the 
laws  of  I'airydom,  she  committed  an  unpardonable  sin.     The  fairy  who  marries  a 
mortal  must  die. 

EILA —  But  lolanthe  is  not  dead.     (Enter  Fairy  Queen.) 


% 


r\UEP^N  —  No,  because  your  queen,  who  loved  her  as  much  as  a  member  of  the 
State  legislature  loves  a  railway  pass,  commuted  her  sentence  to  travel  for 
life  on  other  lines,  and  sooner  than  do  it  she  confined  herself  in  a  pond. 
r  IT  1,A  —  And  she  is  now  working  out  her  sentence  in  Iowa. 

PjUEEN — Yes.     I  gave  her  the  choice  of  States.     I  am  sure  I  never  intended 
that  she  should  go  and  live  under  a  culvert  beneath  the  bank  of  an  Iowa 
railway. 
r  1'. 1 1. A  —  It  must  be  damj)  there,  and  her  chest  was  always  delicate. 

PjUEEN  —  Yes.     An  Iowa  railway  is  hardly  the  place  to  send  a  delicate  chest. 
Even  an  iron-l)Ound  trunk  has  no  show  on  any  other  line  than  the  Chicago 
cV  Alton.     I  do  not  understand  why  she  went  there, 
yr  I  I, —  I[,,w  terrible:  but,  O  Queen,  forgive  her. 

Qri:i:X  — 1  'vc  half  a  mind  to. 

r  I'.ll.A  —  Make  it  half  and  half,  and  wholly  do  it. 

r\\   \-.\-.\  —  Well,  it  shall  be  as  you  wish.     Arise,  lolanthe. 

(loi.ANiHK  arises.) 
T()I,.\NTH  I". —  Must  I  again  reflect  my  grievous  fault  on

p\UEEN  —  Oh,  no  ;  we  bring  you  back  to  bliss  and  Alton.     And  now  tell  me  : 
with  all  the  world  to  choose  from,  why  on  earth  did  you  go  to  live  at  the 
bottom  of  that  Iowa  culvert? 
TOLANTHE— To  be  near  my  son  Strci)h<)n. 
pvUEEN  —  Your  s(mi  !      I  didn't  know  you  had  a  son.      I    hardly  think  you 'd 

oughter,  lolanthe. 
TOLANTHE — He   was  born   shortly  after   I    left   my  huslnind   at   your   royal 

command. 
r  EI  LA  — What  is  he? 

TOLANTHE  —  He  is  an  Arcadian  brakesman.      He  is  one  of  those  extremely 
pure  young  persons  who  have  passed  a  comijetitive   examination  of  intelli- 
gence before  they  can  become  anything  on  the  Alton  Road.     Ah,  here  he  is. 
(Enter  Strephon.) 
TREPHON  — 
Good  morrow,  good  mother ; 
I  'm  to  be  married  to-morrow. 


$• 


TOLANTHE  —  Then  tlie  Counselor    has   at   last    given    his   consent  to  your 

marriage  with  his  beautiful  ward  Phyllis. 
Q TREPHON  —  Alas!  no.     He  is  obdurate.     He  wants  nothing  less  than   a 

General  Passenger  Agent. 
/^UEEN  —  But  how  to  get  round  this  difficulty  with  the  Counselor.    Should  you 

like  to  be  a  General  Passenger  Agent  ? 
OTREPHON  —  That  would  hardly  do.     You  see  I  am  half  human,  half  fairy. 

My  body  is  of  the  Alton  Fairy  kind,  but  my  legs  are  of  another  line,  and 
would  be  likely  to  take  me  on  the  wrong  track. 
/^UEEN  —  Well,  your  fairyhood  does  n't  seem  to  have   interfered  with    your 

digestion. 
Q TREPHON —  It  is  the  curse  of  my  existence.     \\'hat  's  the  use  of  being  half  a 

fairy  ?  My  body  can  go  through  the  air-brake  pipe,  but  if  my  legs  ever  get 
between  the  couplers,  I  'm  a  goner.  There  is  one  advantage :  by  making  myself 
invisible  down  to  the  waist,  I  have  collected  damages  from  one  railway  company 
several  times,  because  they  could  n't  find  the  rest  of  me  after  an  accident.  My 
legs,  I  suppose,  will  die  some  day,  and  then  what  will  be  the  use  of  my  bust  ?  I 
can't  satisfy  Phyllis  with  half  a  husband. 


PjUEEX — Don't  let  your  legs  distract  you.     They  shall  be  our  peculiar  care. 

The  Alton  does  nothing  by  halves.     So  farewell,  attractive  stranger. 

[Exit  all. 
(Enter  the  entire  corps  of  officers  of  all  the  railioays  -west  of  Chicago,  except  the  C. 

c^  A.    They  are  accontf  anted  iy  a  band,  in  ivhich  the  instruments  are  exclusively 

and  appropriately  made  of  frass.      The  blotcwrs  in  this  band  are  the  employe's  of 

the  raihoay  officers.)

Loudly  let  the  trumpet  bray.     Tan-tan-ta-ra,  tan-tan-ta-ra ! 
Proudly  bang  the  sounding  brasses,  tzing,  boom ! 
As  upon  its  lordly  way  this  unique  procession  passes.

Tzing,  boom,  tzing,  boom  !  etc.

(At  conclusion,  enter  Counselor.) 
OUNSELOR  — 

The  law  is  the  true  embodiment 

Of  everything  that  's  excellent ; 

It  has  no  kind  of  fault  or  flaw. 

And  I,  for  cash,  expound  the  law: 

A  constitutional  lawyer  I, 

For  a  great  railway  society; 

A  very  agreeable  post  for  me. 

While  my  railway  planks  down  its  fee; 

A  solid  occupation  for 

A  money-making  counselor.

It  nevertheless  can't  be  denied, 

I  feel  its  inconvenient  side  ; 

For  she  has  lots  of  Alton  stock, 

As  good  as  gold,  and  firm  as  a  rock. 

But  there  M  be  the  deuce  to  pay,  ()   Lord, 

If  I   jKitcli'd  up  a  match   with   my  wealthy  ward, 

Which  rather  gets  up  my  dander,  for 

I  'm   such   a  susceptible  counselor. 

So  if  a  director  w(juUl  marry  my  ward, 

He  must  come  to  me  for  my  accord  ; 

In  the  Alton  office  I  '11  sit  all  day, 

To  hear  what  agreeable  men  may  say. 

But  Phyllis  declares  she  's  not  for  he. 

She  's  not  for  thou,  and  she  's  not  for  thee, 

She  wont  have  you,  and  she  wont  have  ye, 

Because  her  mind  is  made  up  for 

A  Chicago  &  Alton  director. 

(Enter  Lord  Beeseekew.) 
T  ORD  B. — And  now-  let  us  proceed  to  the  business  of  the  day.     Few  of  us  have 

done  any  business  for  many  days. 
/70UNSEL0R  —  True.  Let  us  proceed  more  rapidly  than  your  trains. 
Phyllis,  my  ward,  has  so  powerfully  affected  you  that  you  have  let  all  your 
railways  go  to  eternal  smash,  and  you  have  asked  me  to  give  her  to  whichever 
one  of  you  I  may  select.  It  would  be  idle  for  me  to  deny  that  I,  too,  have  been 
wonderfully  attracted  to  this  young  woman.  My  affection  for  her  is  rapidly  un- 
dermining my  constitution,  just^as  it  has  undermined  the  constitutions  of  all  your 
railways.  But  we  shall  hear  what  she  has  to  say  herself,  for  here  she  comes. 
(Enter  Phyllis.) 

RECITATIVE. 

My  well  lov'd  lord  and  guardian  dear, 
You  summoned  me,  and  I  am  here. 

CHORUS  OF  GENERAL  PASSENGER  AGENTS. 

Oh,  rapture  !  how  beautiful. 
How  gentle,  how  dutiful ! 


(Ge}i.  Pass.  Agents  make  a  dumb  appeal  to  Phyllis.) 

SONG. 

pHYLLIS  — 

I  'm  very  much  pain'd  to  refuse  ; 

My  guardian  you  can't  lay  the  fault  on. 
The  only  young  man  I   would  choose 
Must  be  from  the  Chicago  cS:  Alton. 
That  road  so  eclipses  the  rest, 

Its  men  are  so  handsome  and  hearty, 
That  I  know  where  to  turn  for  the  best, 
\Mien  I  want  a  particular  party. 
(Enter  Strephon,  the  brakeman  ;   Phyllis  rushes  to  him.) 
It  must  not,  cannot  be, 

Your  suits  my  heart  has  riven  ; 
Yon  jolly  brakeman  see, 
To  him  my  heart  is  given. 
TTLL  THE   G.  P.  A.'S  — Jerusalem  ! 
OUNSELOR  — 

And  who  has  dared  to  brave  our  high  displeasure, 
And  thus  defy  our  definite  command  ? 
OTREPHON— 

'Tis  I,  young  Strephon;  mine,  this  rosy  treasure; 
Against  all  lines  I  claim  my  darling's  hand. 

(Exit  all  the  G.  P.  A.'s  in  disgust,  and  with  as  much  dignity  as  if  they  belonged  to 
the  Alton  Road.     Strephon  and  Counselor  remain.) 

^OUNSELOR — Now,  sir,  how  dare  you  fall  in  love  with  my  ward  ? 

OTREPHON  — Love  knows  no  guardianship.  We  follow  our  inclinations.  As 
1  whirl  along  the  Alton  Road,  all  nature  speaks  of  her  love,  and  says  "  Take 
her."  I  read  it  on  the  face  of  the  Sphinx  Rock.  William's  Canon  thunders  it 
forth,  the  Snowy  Range  melts  in  sympathy  witli  our  love,  the  Twin  Lakes  are  one 
in  wishing  us  joy,  the  Bowlder  Falls  leap  with  joy  at  our  prospective  union,  and 
from  Alton  to  Santa  Fe  every  bird  and  bush  and  tree  choruses  our  bliss ;  and  can 
you  say  nay  ?

OUNSELOR — Duty  before  pleasure.    I  always  keep  my  duty  before  my  eyes. 
When  I   went  to  the  Alton,  a  very  young  man, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said   1, 
I  '11  work  on  a  new  and  original  [^lan, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  1. 
I  '11  never  assume  that  a  road  is  ().  K., 
That  it  's  perfect,  in  fact,  like  the  C.  and  the  A., 
Till  I  've  tried  it  my  own  and  particular  way, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 

I  '11  never  throw  dust  in  a  passenger's  eyes. 

Said  1  to  myself,  said   I, 
Recommending  a  road  with  buncombe  and  lies, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I, 
Or  pretend  that  some  other  roads  of  which  we  read 
Can  equal  the  Alton  for  comfort  and  speed. 
Or  supply  all  the  luxuries  travelers  need, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 

Ere  I  boast  of  the  road,  I  will  travel  it  through, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I, 
And  see  that  its  officers  do  what  they  can  do, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 
So  I  went  on  the  road  from  the  first  to  the  last, 
I  travel'd  with  pleasure  so  safe  and  so  fast. 
That  I  said,  such  a  road  can  ne'er  be  surpass'd. 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 

On  all  other  roads  by  which  men  may  go. 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I, 
They  're  none  of  them  safe,  and  they  're  all  of  them  slow, 

Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 

The  Chicago  and  Alton  must  still  be  A  i. 

For  business,  for  pleasure,  for  health,  or  for  fun. 


Or  it  never  could  have  such  a  character  won, 
Said  I  to  myself,  said  I. 

(This  being  rather  a  difficult  song  to  sing,  the  Counselor,  ///  reply  to  the  deafen- 
ing e?icore  tvhich  he  receives,  will  hand  to  each  person  in  the  audience  a  copy  of 
the  Langtry  Map,  a  book  of  the  Patience  Parody,  a  copy  of  the  Chicago  News- 
Letter,  and  a  folder  of  the  Alton  Road.     Exit  Counselor,  with  a  skip.)

That  yarn  requires  obesity  its  thinness  well  to  cover ;

To  place  the  best  of  all  its  boys

T  EILA — Kspecially  a  Chicag(j  c\;  Alton   man,  and   we  are  not  all  as  tough  as 

you  are. 
PjUKEN  —  Am  I  tough  ?     Look  at  that  daisy  !     ( Pain  tins:  f^^  Willis.)    Who  are 

you,  sir  ? 
7TVILLIS — I'icket-taker  Willis  of  the  Chicago  &  Alton  Railroad. 

/^UEEN  —  You  're  a  fine  fellow,  sir. 

7TTILLIS— Yes,  mum,  I  belong  to  the  Alton. 

pvUEEN  —  (Starts) — The  Alton  !  Ah  !  I,  too,  am  not  insensible  to  the  charms 
of  manly  beauty.     Look  at  that  man  !     He  is  a  fair  specimen  of  the  Alton 

employes — a  perfect  picture. 

7TYILLIS — Yes,  mum,  I  am  generally  admired,  although  I  do  not  compare 
flivorably  with  my  fellow-employes.     The  standard  of  beauty  is  very  high 

on  this  road.     (Modestly  retires.) 

/^UEEN — The  road  has  taste — (To  the  Fairies.)  Now  here  is  a  man  belong- 
ing to  the  first  road  in  the  Union,  whose  physical  beauty  eclipses  Apollo's. 

If  I  yielded  to  a  natural  impulse,  I  should  at  once  be  mashed  by  that  man.     But 

I  mortify  this  inclination  ;    I  wrestle  with  it, —  I  subdue  it,  ha  !  ha  !     This  is  how  I 

suppress  my  inclinations. 


O  foolish  fay. 
Think  you,  because  his  jacket  gay 
My  bosom  thaws,  I  'd  disobey 
Our  fairy  laws  ?     Because  I  fly 
The  road  above,  you  think  that  I 
This  man  could  love. 

(Aside.) 
Type  of  Chicago  &  Alton, 
This  heart  of  mine 


Is  truly  thine. 
'T  is  it   1  lay  the  fault  on. 
(Exit  Fairies,  sorroivjully  following  Fairy  Queen.) 
(Enter  Phyllis.) 
OHYLLIS — I  can't  think  why  I  am  not  in  better  spirits.     I  am  engaged  to  one 
General  Freight  Agent  and  one  General  Passenger  Agent,  and  could  have 
the  whole  railway  association  if  I  only  said  the  word.     As  for  Strephon,  I  hate 
him.     Xo  girl  would  care  for  a  young  man  who  was  considerably  older  than  his 
mother — though  nowadays  there  are  a  good  many  such  floating  about. 

(Enter  Lord  Beeseekew.) 
r  ORD   B.— Phyllis,  my  own  ! 

■pHYLLIS — How  dare   you!     But   perhaps  you  are  the   Freight  Agent  —  or 

the  General  Passenger  Agent. 
r  ORD  B.— I  am  — the  latter. 
pHYLLIS  —  How  did  you  secure  the  distinction  ? 
r  ORD  B. — To  be  frank,  because  everybody  was  rushing  for  positions  on  the 

Alton,  and  they  left  the  post  uncovered.     I  have  held  the  place  a  long  time. 
tpHYLLIS — Because  nobody  else  would  have  it  ? 
r  ORD  B. —  Not  so  much  that  as  because  now  the  Alton  has  run  our  business 

down  so,  there  is  no  money  to  pay  salaries  with,  and  I  am  willing  to  wait  for 
mine.     The  stockholders  appreciate  my  kindness. 

(Enter  Lord  See  Eyear.) 
r  ORD  S.— Dearest  Phyllis  !     (Embraces  her.) 

pHYLLIS— The  Freight  Agent !     Well,  have  you  settled  ?     Have  you  setded 

which  of  you  it  is  to  be  ? 
r  ORD  S. —  It  is  n't  quite  settled.     We  tossed  for  it,  but  we  did  it  in  a  saloon 

where  the  dice  always  threw  sixes.     We  got  hold  of  the  proprietor's  private 
set.     Suppose  we  leave  the  choice  to  you  ? 
OHYLLIS — How  can  it  possibly  concern  me  ?     You  are  both  railway  officials. 

You  both  get  everything  but  your  salaries,  and  I  don't  see  where  I  am  to 
choose.  If  one  of  you  will  throw  up  your  share  in  your  so-called  railway,  and 
admit  the  Alton  to  be,  what  it  is,  the  first  line  in  the  world,  I  might  perhaps  take 
time  to  consider. 


'r^' 


(^' 


r  ORD  B. —  We  are  too  jealous  to  admit  that,  although  we  know  it.  The  only 
resort  now  is  for  one  of  us  to  give  way  to  the  other.     Perhaps,  on  the  whole, 

she  would  be  hapj^er  with  me. 

r  ORD  S. —  The  chances  are  in  your  favor.  The  one  difficulty  which  remains 
is,  that  if  you  rob  me  of  the  girl  I  love  I  must  kill  you.     I  shall  give  you  a 

pass  over  my  railroad. 

r  ORD   h.—  fS/irit'ks  wif/i /n^i:^/if ) —  Not  that !     Not  that !     (Bursts  into  tears.) 

jT  ORD  S. —  I   think  you   are   right. —  the    sacrifice    is    too    great.     The    sacred 
ties  of  friendship  will  not  iiermit  the  wanton  cruelties  suggesl^ed,  between 
men  who  love  each  other  as  we  do.     (  They  embrace.) 

(Enter  Coln'sklor,  rvvj  sorrowful.) 
'  O  U  N  SE  L( )  R  —  (Recitative. ) 

Love  unrequited  robs  me  of  my  rest, 

Although  the  Alton  Line  is  still  victorious; 
But  in  a  song  to  tell  my  woes  is  best, 

If  you,  kind  friends,  will  join  me  in  the  chorius. 

SONG. 

When  on  some   snide    road,  with   a  terrible  load,  and  an   engine 

not  up  to  an  Alton  one. 
You  lie  ill  at  ease,  in  a  berth  filled  with  fleas,  all  ready  to  make 

an  assault  on  one, 
With  your  mind  in  a  pother  on  this,  that,  and  I'  other. 

Because,  in  your  doubt  and  perplexity. 
You  travel'd  this  way,  while  happy  as  play 
Goes  the  Chicago  &  Alton  just  next  t'  ye. 

Then  the  counterpane  tickles  —  you  feel  like  mixed  pickles, 

Your  pillow  as  hard  as  a  bullet, 
And  your  sheet  is  so  small  it  wont  cover  at  all. 

No  matter  't  is  which  way  you  pull  it ; 
Then  you  rave,  and  you  swear,  and  tear  out  your  hair. 

With  none  but  yourself  to  lay  fault  on. 
And  swear  by  the  Heaven,  if  once  you  're  forgiven, 

To  abjure  all  lines  but  the  Alton. 


r  ORD   B. —  I  am  much  distresst  to  find  you  so  sad. 

/70UNSEL0R  —  I  am ;  I  acknowledge  it.    It  is  my  double  capacity  which  does 
it.     I  am  her  guardian  and  her  suitor.     In  my  latter  capacity  I  am  over- 
awed by  my  duty  in  my  other  capacity.     It  unnerves  me. 

"T  ORD  S. —  It  is  hard.     Just  think  of  having  two  capacities.     Let  us  be  truly 
thankful  that  we  have  no  capacity  at  all.     But  take  courage ;  nothing  that  I 
ever  heard  of  daunted  a  Chicago  &  Alton  Railroad  official. 
COUNSELOR  —  That  is  true,  and  I  will  be  resigned.  {Exeunt. 

Enter  Phyllis. 
pHYLLIS  — Strephon! 

OTREPHON  — Phyllis!     But  I  forgot.     I  suppose  I  should,  madam let 

me  see, —  what  name  have  you  decided  upon  ? 
tpHYLLIS  —  I  have  n't  quite  made  up  my  mind.     You  see,  /have  n't  any 

mother  to  advise  me. 
a TREPHON  —  xNo  !     I  have. 

OHYLLIS  —  Yes,  a  wexy  young  mother. 

O TREPHON  —  Not  very  —  a  couple  of  centuries  or  so. 

pHYLLIS  — She  wears  well. 

Q TREPHON  —  Of  course  she  does.     She  was  born  and  reared  on  the  C.  &  A. 

line.     Besides,  she  's  a  fairy. 
tpHYLLIS —  I  beg  your  pardon  —  a  what  ? 

CTTREPHON — A  fairy.     I  've  no  longer  a  reason  to  conceal  the  truth. 

tJHYLLIS  —  That  would  account  for  a  good  many  things.     Fairies  nowadays 

are  rather  indiscreet.     I  suppose  you  are  a  fairy,  too. 
C TREPHON  —  I  'm  half  a  fairy  and  half  a  mortal. 

pHYLLIS — Not  very  substantial.     But  why  did  n't  you  tell  me? 

CTTREPHON  —  I  thought  I  might  get  myself  disliked.     There  's  no  use  loving 

half  a  man. 
pHYLLIS  —  Better  that  than  to  love  a  whole   man,   as  they   go  nowadays. 

Forgive  me. 


OTREPHON — Think  of  the  difficulties.     My  grandmother  looks  quite  as  young 

as  my  mother.     So  do  all  my  aunts. 
ipHYLLIS  —  Then,  if  I  catch  you  kissing  the  chambermaid,  I  shall  know  she  's 

only  a  relative  in  disguise. 
QTRKPHON —  In  that  case,  I  will  forgive  you. 

pin'LLIS  —  Then  we  will  be  married  at  once.    I  will  attend  to  the  fairies  after- 
ward.    But  how  about  your  mother? 
TOLANTHE  —  (Enti'ri>i--.)  — The  old  lady  is  here,  and  blesses  you,  my  children, 

—  or  words  to  that  effect. 
OTREPHOiSf  —  But  how  about  her  guardian  ? 

TOLANTHE  —  There  is  but  one  thing  to  do.     1  have  been  married  to  him  for 

some  years  now.     He  is  Strephon's  father. 
CTREPHON  —  At  last !     I  am  a  wise  child. 

lOLANTHE  —  And  being  his  wife,  I  will  assume  my  domestic  duties.     Have 

you  a  club  handy  ? 
/70UNSEL0R  — ^^;/A'n- yV//'/7^^///;  — It 's   settled  I     Victory!   victory!     I  put 

the  case  plainly  to  myself,  although  I  must  confess  that  when  1  addressed  so 
important  a  personage  as  the  legal  adviser  of  the  Chicago  &  Alton  Railroad,  I 
did  so  with  many  feelings  of  doubt  in  my  mind.  However,  I  took  courage  and 
pleaded  my  cause  well.  I  said  to  myself,  with  the  respect  with  which  I  always 
address  myself,  you  are  the  legal  adviser  of  the  greatest  railroad  m  the  country, 
and,  as  such,  you  should  not  hesitate  to  exercise  your  droits  de  seigneur  and  take 
the  girl  from  all  competitors.  I  was  bound  to  admit  the  force  of  my  own  argu- 
ment, and  so  won  my  case.  I  shall  marry  the  girl  without  delay.  There  is 
nothing  to  stand  in  the  way. 
TOLANTHE  — ^Ct;w^'j-  down.)—  Excepting  a  mere  trifle. 

COUNSELOR  — And  that  is  — but  who  are  you  ?    (Starts.)    Ah  !  Thou  livest, 

lolanthe  ? 
TOLANTHE  —  Never  say  die  is  the  motto  of  the  Alton  Line.     ( She  falls  into 
his  arms.) 

|UEEN  — ^/^Az/z/Z/e'  kneels  to  her.)  — 
Once  more  thy  vows  are  broken. 
The  Fates  thy  doom  has  spoken.     (Enter  Everybody.) 


Q' 


"P  EILA  —  Hold!     If  lolanthe  must  die,  so  must  we  all,  for   we   are  equally 

guilty. 
QUEEN  —  Equally  guilty  !     (All  kneel.) 

r  ORD  S. —  Pardon  them.  They  could  not  help  it.  The  ancient  traditions 
surrounding  railway  officials  were  too  much  for  them,  and  they  married  us. 

PjUEEN  —  The  traditions  of  our  tribe  must  be  imperative.  They  who  marry 
mortals  must  die.     There  is  no  going  back  on  the  statutes. 

/70UNSEL0R  —  Hold!  I  haven't  been  helping  the  public  to  obey  the  law 
all  these  years  for  nothing.     Let  me  give  your  statute  a  whirl.     (Looks  it 

over.)     Easy  enough.     Make  it  read  that  every  fairy  who  marries    outside    the 

Alton  Road  shall  die. 

/^UEEN — Good  idea.    (Does  it.)    And  now  where  's  Willis? 

7TYILLIS  —  Tickets,  please. 

PjUEEN — Yes,  for  the  matrimonial  line.     How  would  you  like  to  be  a  fairy 

ticket-taker? 
7TVILLIS  — On  the  Chicago  &  Alton? 

QUEEN  —  That  is  the  statute. 

7TYILLIS  —  It    is  one  of   the  oldest  traditions  of   this  road    that  none    of  its 

employes  can  possibly  be  ill-bred,  particularly  to  a  lady.     I  am  yours. 
QUEEN  —  And  now  the  only  way  to  save  our  tribe  from  annihilation  is  for  all 
you  gentlemen  to  obey  the  law.     Remember   that   any  fairy  who    marries 
other  than  a  Chicago  &  Alton  man  must  die.     (Ail  shudder.) 
QTREPHON  —  And  I,  being  in  the  Alton  Road,  will  immediately  employ  you 
all  and  absorb  all  your  lines.     It  was  bound  to  come  to  that  sooner  or  later. 
OUNSELOR  —  The  old  wife  is  better  than  no  wife,  so  here  we  all  go  to  fairy- 
land. *

and 

the  lallei'  about  !,.')( )(),(i(»(>.  'IMie  nuiul)ei'  of  ])eo|)le  actually  in  Chicago  Jit  any  one 
time  would  doubtless  I'aii.uc  f:ii'  above  these  liu'iires.  as  its  tloatinu  oi'  tiansient 
l)oi)ulation  is  eiioi  iiious,  runidni;-  \i\)  into  liuui-es  that  can  hardly  be  civdited. 
The  traffic  ])assin,ii'  between  these  two  cities  daily  is  veiy  large,  when  one  con- 
siders that  they  are  within  a  fi-action  of  I, <»<)()  miles  ai)art.  Boston  also  has  a 
large  ti'afhc  with  Chicago,  and,  to  give  an  id(^a  of  the  accommodations  necessary 
to  provide  foi'  the  passeiigei'  l)usiness  alone  between  the  thive  cities,  we  may 
state  that  the 


J¥lic]n;c)uu  ffeii:bul  linltoncl; 


which  is  the  principal  thoronghfare  l^etween  the  cities  named,  runs  five  express 
trains  daily  —  three  on  Sundays  —  made  up  of  hne  new  day  coaches,  smoking 
cars,  drawing-room  cars,  palatial  sleeping  cars. 

The  Michigan  Central  Railroad  has  always  held  a  foremost  place  among 
the  lines  between  Chicago  and  the  Atlantic  seaboard,  and  the  latest  addition 
to  their  accommodations,  in  the  shape  of  four  new  Dining  Cars,  will  greatly 
strengthen  its  position. 

These  new  cars  are  incomparable  for  beauty  of  design  and  selectness  of 
adornments,  all  the  elegancies  of  art  having  l)een  exhausted  to  produce  the 
most  desirable  effect.  That  the  end  has  been  gained  goes  without  saying,  and 
they  stand  to-day  as  fai-  in  advance  of  other  Dining  Cars  as  the  first  Dining 
Cars  were  in  advance  of  the  lunch  counters  at  wayside  stations. 

The  ctilsiiie  is  quite  on  a  i^ar  with  the  finish  of  the  cars,  and  all  that  may 
minister  to  the  nourishment  of  the  body  or  ti(dvle  the  palate  of  the  most  dis- 
criminating epicures  will  be  found  therein. 

Other  great  featuivs  of  the  Michigan  Central  Railroad  aie  that  its  tlu'ough 
trains  for  New  York  and  Boston  run  out  of  Chicago  along  the  ^lichigan  Lake 
front,  within  a  stone's  throw  of  the  city's  costliest  mansions,  through  South 
Park  and  the  magic  city  of  Pullman,  affording  an  extensive  survey  of  this 
marvel  of  a  marvelous  age,  and  later  passing  over  the  new  Cantilever  Bridge 
in  full  view  of  Niagara  Falls.  It  is  for  this  latter  reason  known  to  all  travelers 
as  ''The  Niaaara  Falls  Route."

Deacon    FitiieN    will    he   here 


The  voice  was  that  of  Mi'.  Trevellyan.  a  tlio roughly  welldviiowii  and  liighly 
res2)et'ted  stock  l)rokei'  of  the  City  of  Chicago.  Mr.  Trevellyan  was  a  hard- 
working man,  and  liis  various  affaiis  did  not  give  him  mncli  opportunity  of 
absenting  himself  from  his  business.  l)Ut  to-day  had  been  laid  out  as  a  holiday 
for  the  babies,  and  Papa  Trevellyan  had  made  up  his  mind  to  take  ])ait  in  it. 

After  a  good  deal  of  family  discussion  [these  things  generally  involve  more 
or  less  of  tliat  sort  of  thing]  it  was  hnally  decided  to  make  a  trip  to  Niagara 
Falls  and  back.  So  a  party  ^vas  made  up  which  was  to  consist  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Trevellyan.  the  two  children  and  a  good-hearted  Deacon  Fitney.  who  \\as  well 
acquainted  with  the  way  to  "do"  the  Falls  [noperly. 

The  day  was.  as  I  have  just  said,  a  l^right  one.  even  foi-  the  month  of  June. 
and  both  Adele  and  Nellie,  in  antici})ation  of  a  i»leasant  time,  were  not  long  in 
putting  on  their  things  and  repairing  to  the  i)arlor. 

It  was  well  they  hurried.  There  was  })apa.  valise  in  hand,  ready  to  start; 
mamma,  too;  and  nothing  seemed  to  be  Avanting  but  the  x>i'*^^t^ii<-"^  <^>i  Deacon 
Fitue} .  who  had  gone  oft'  to  secure  the  railway  tickets,  and  who  i)romised  to 


.A    TRIl^  TO  ^I^Va^VHA    FALLS. 

retiii'ii  at  once  witli  a  caiTiage  and  accompany  tlie  wliole  i)arty  to  tlie  train.  The 
Deacon  was  not  long  in  coming  back.  He  Avas  a  good  man  in  liis  way.  was  the 
Deacon.  He  had  only  one  fault — he  was  nnivasonal^ly  fond  of  Buttons  I  He 
adorned  his  apparel  with  more  luittt)ns  than  even  tlie  law  reqniivs,  and  he  wore  a 
nice  gold-headed  button  on  his  neatly -tied  satin  scarf.  Xobody  could  ever  lind 
out  what  pi'ompted  this  peculiarity.  liut  then  nolwdy  seemed  to  <nire  vei  y  much. 
However,  as  I  said  before,  the  Deacon  came  Ixu'k  very  quickly  and  helped  get 
things  in  the  cari-iage. 

"By  the  way.  Deacon,"  said  ]Mr.  Tievellyan,  "what  time  do  we  start  and 
Avhich  way  do  we  go '.     You  know  I  have  left  everything  of  that  kind  to  you." 

"  Foui-tifteen,""  said  the  Deacon,  iii  a  cheerful  sort  of  way.  "and  by  the 
[Michigan  Central  Railroad.  It  is  the  only  way  to  go.  But  never  mind  about  the 
advantages  to  be  gained  by  going  over  this  I'emaikable  route.  I  will  tell  you  all 
about  it  Avhen  we  get  on  the  train."" 

And  so  they  luindled  into  the  carriage,  and  within  a  few  minutes  the  entire 
party  was  seated  in  one  of  the  magnificent  palace  cars  which  ai'e  attached  to  the 
Michigan  Cential  Linnted  Express. 

"All  a))()ardl""  shouted  the  conductor.  "We're  oif,"  smiled  the  Deacon. 
Tlie  big  clock  in  the  depot  struck  the  quarter  after  four,  and  the  magnilicent  train, 
composed  of  five  sleex)ers,  three  coaches,  a  palace  dining  car  and  a  couple  of 
baggage  cars,  slowly  pulled  out  of  the  stati(m. 

Adele  and  Xellie  glued  their  noses  to  the  window,  and  their  delight  as  they 
whizzed  through  the  beautiful  suburbs  of  South  Chicago  seemed  unbounded. 
AVitli  Lake  Michigan,  tranquil  and  glittering  with  the  rays  of  a  summer  sun,  on 
one  side,  and  a  succession  of  lovely  suburl^an  ivsidences  on  the  other,  the  sight 
was  a  most  lovely  one.  A  few  minutes  later  the  train  was  Hying  through  green 
fields  and  beautiful  woods. 

"Heiv.  cliildien,""  suddenly  cried  the  Deacon  from  the  other  side  of  the  car, 
''come  ([uick  and  see  the  magic  city  r)f  Pullman."'  In  a  minute  Adele  was  on 
one  of  the  Deacon's  knees  and  Nellie  on  tlie  other,  and  the  tiain  i)assed  rapidly 
by  the  most  woiKlpi-ful  H\iden(v  of  modern  entei]))-i,se.

taken  them  into  the  dinini.;-  car  and  feasted  them  with  all  the  iiiexhaust ihle 
luxuries  for  which  these  cars  on  the  Miclnuan  ("eiiTral  H.  \\.  are  so  ramoiis. 

Then,  the  colored  ]iortei-  liavina'  made  up  their  heds.  they  weie  soon  fast 
asU'ep  and  drt'amiii.ii-  of  the  treat  in  store  for  the  morrow. 

The  Deacon.  Jiowever.  was  deternuned  at  least  that  his  li-rown-ii])  friends 
sliould  k)se  none  of  the  heauties  of  the  trip,  and  so  he  insisted  that  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
'I'revellyan  should  remain  up  until  the\-  had  ci-ossed  the  famous  Detroit  liiver. 
Tlie  nii^iit  was  a  l»eautiful  one.  and  they  were  amply  rewarded  hy  witnessinu-  one 
of  the  most  ihorou.uhly  picturesipie  ])ieces  of  scenery  in  the  world.  Th"  entire 
train  was  jilaced  on  one  of  the  immense  fei-i-y  steamers,  and  the  landin.i;-  shortly 
afterwards  made  at  Windsor,  a  i)ictures(pie  and  (piaint  little  towifon  the  Canadian

Miclii.uan  Central  l\ailroad.  famous  alike  for  tli<'  ma.uniticence  of  its  ecpiipment 
and  smoothness  of  track.  Here  our  friends,  so  to  s]»eak.  turned  in.  and^it  was 
only  a  few  nnnut*^  hefore  every  one  on  hoard  was  fast  asleep. 

The  next  tliin.u-  was  the  morning  sun  and  ]S'iai>'ara  Falls.  Thejun  had  heen 
made  from  Cliicauo  in  the  lemarkahle  time  of  fifteen  hours. 


,^1   TJiir   TO   XIAd A  h'A    FAJ.LS. 

"Oil,  how  ii,-()()cl  of  you.  Deacon  Fitiiey,"  said  little  Adele  a  short  while  later, 
as,  standinii'  on  the  platform  at  Falls  View  Station,  she  wazed  with  rapture  at  the 
Falls  in  all  their  splendoi-.  *"Tlow  yood  of  yon  to  hrinii-  us  to  sueh  a  nice  place, 
and  by  such  a  delightful  i-oad.*" 

And  little  Adele  had  ivason  to  so  express  herself,  for.  standini;'  where  she  was, 
at  Falls  Mew  Station,  she  was  able  to  c<uninand  the  most  awe-inspirini;'  and  lovely 
view  of  the  Falls  to  be  olitained  anywhere. 

••  I  am  ulad  you  like  it,"  said  the  Deacon,  with  a  smile:  "but  you  must  ]U)t 
<-redit  me  with  too  much  goodness,  for  I  conid  hardly  have  brou.ii'ht  you  by  any 
other  way.  The  Michigan  Central  load  is  tlie  oidy  direct  road  lunning  to  the 
Falls,  and  you  could  hardly  ex])ect  that  1  could  take  you  there  by  any  line 
Avhich  is  m)t  entirely  the  best."" 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Trevellyan  heartily  joined  Adele  in  her  expiessions  of  thanks 
to  the  Deacon,  and  more  than  endorsed  every  woid  he  had  said  in  ])raise  of  the 
w  onderful  Michigan  Central  Linnted  Express. 

The  condiK^tor  then  called  "  all  aboard.""  and  the  train  again  started  on  its 
way,  and  very  shortly  crossed  the  Niagara  llivei-  ovei'  the  magnificent  steel  Canti- 
lever bridge  which  the  Michigan  Centi-al  people  have  just  erected  at  this  \)o\\\X. 

'"This  is  the  great  Cantilever  bi-idge  you  have  heard  so  much  about.*"  said  the 
Deacon  to  little  May.  "It  is  the  greatest  scientific  engineering  effort  of  the  age, 
and  it  is  well  worth  visiting  Niagara,  if  only  to  see  it.  With  Niagai-a  Falls  aiuf 
the  Cantilever  bridge  the  Michigan  Central  peoi)le  are  able  to  show  their  ])ass- 
engei's  the  greatest  work  of  natui'e  and  of  man  to  be  found  in  the  conntry."" 

From  the  bridge  the  train  glided  along  to  Niagara  Falls  station,  on  the 
Ameiican  side.  Here  our  little  ))arty  alighted,  and.  after  di-iving  about  the  village, 
they  soon  found  themselves  in  the  comfoitable  i)arlorsof  the  Clifton  House,  enjoy- 
ing one  of  Ml',  (leorge  Colbuiirs  justly  famous  re])asts. 

Then  they  spent  the  day  at  the  Falls  a  (hiy  of  meriw  sunshine  and  hajtpiuess. 
Tlie  I'^alls  ne\('i'  look<^d  grandei',  and  nature  ne\er  smiled  with  moi-e  sweetness. 
The  time  passed  oidy  too  (pii<'kly.  and  when  the  childivn  ste])])ed  on  the  cars  once 
mole  to  rt^uru  to  Chicago,  it  was  with  a  twinge  of  regret  which  was  only  offset  by

ONE    GREAT    FEATURE    IN    THIS    LINE    IS,    THAT    IT    IS    THE 

ONLY  ROUTE  BETWEEN  CHICAGO  and  the  EAST 

THAT    IS    TOTALLY    DEVOID    OF    TRANSFERS    BY    FERRY    BOATS. 

And  the  traveling  public  should  certainly  appreciate  this  great  advantage  over  all 
other  lines,  as  transfers  by  ferries  are  very  tedious  and  annoying  to  the  traveler  who  is 
anxious  to  reach  the  objective  point  without  delay.  Further  comments  are  imnecessary.

XESS  OR   FLEASURE. 


IN  COLORADO  the  traveler  beholds  scenery  excelling  in  variety,  beauty  and  grandeur  that 
of  Switzerland.  He  traverses  canons  fifteen  miles  in  length,  with  perpendicular  walls  more  than 
half  a  mile  in  height.  He  crosses  the  Rocky  Range  at  an  elevation  of  over  11,000  feet,  and  from 
this  lofty  pass  gazes  upward  3,000  feet  to  the  summits  of  the  snow-crowded  2Jeaks.  En  rouie  to 
the  Pacific  Coast  he  passes  through  innumerable  places  of  interest,  among  which  are  the  Royal 
Gorge.  Grand  Canon  of  the  Arkansas.  Poncho  Pass.  Marsliall  Pass,  tlie  valleys  of  the  Uncom]iahgre, 
Gunnison  and  (xrand.  Black  Canon.  Castle  Gate,  Wasatch  Summit  and  Salt  Lake  City. 

IN  NEW  MEXICO  he  finds  ruins  more  ancient  than  those  of  tlie  Partlienon  or  Colosseum — 
the  crumbling  liabitations  of  the  pre-historic  Cliflf -Dwellers ;  he  beliolds  the  (luaint  architecture  of 
the  Spanish-Mexicans  or  the  pueblos  of  the  descendants  of  tlie  Montezumas. 

IN  UTAH  lu'  can  bathe  in  the  Great  Salt  Lake,  and  insiject  tlie  wonders  of  tlie  Citv  of  tlie
